Official title
Urinary Retention After Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Intraoperative Urinary Catheter Versus no Catheter
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This will be a randomized controlled study which will compare the rate of post-operative urinary retention after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between patients who receive an intra-operative urinary catheter and those who do not. The primary aim of the study is to determine if the use of intra-operative urinary catheter reduces the incidence of post-operative urinary retention after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific patient inclusion criteria include all patients aged 18 years or older presenting for an elective unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia repair, who are able to tolerate general anesthesia and are considered eligible to have a hernia repair through a laparoscopic approach.
